WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. The most intense inter
est is felt here in the senatorial contests wag-
ing in Nebraska, Indiana and other states
The monopolists are praying for the defeat
of Senator Van Wyck, while the laboring
people and masses-thOse who want justice
and legislation for the country-hope he will
be returned. The interest aroused in behalf
of General Van Wyck among the
knights of Labor and members of trades
unions is growing rapidly. Is generally
believed he will be reelected. Two senators
are to be elected in each of the states of Ten
nessee and California, or rather in addition
10 a fun term of six years IN each state,
fraction of an existing term must be filled.
Whithorne aud Williams represent Ten
nessee and California respectively in the
present congress by appointment Now that
the legislatures of these states are in session
the appointive terms cease and 1t becomes the
duty of the Legislature of each state to choose
senators, notwithstanding only a few week S
remain of this congress. 1t Is generally
understood that Senator Whithorne VIII be
elected to ill out the remainder his term. He
is not candidate for the long term, having
been elected member of the next house of
representatives and there is apparently no
opposition to his election for the few weeks
remaining of his term With Senator Will
Jams IL is different He was elected by the
last legislature to take the place of MIR.
Hearst, who held Office by the appointment
OF the governor That legislature was con-
- ifolled by the republicans and by its action
Mr.. Hearst, democrat, was ousted The
present legislature has democratic majority
and will send n democrat to take Mr.. Will
iam's place until the 4th of March.
